Hi All,
Airport Controller, Mr. Prabhudeva is a real good man. He got a chance to work for a few days with him. He is really a nice person and sweet at heart too.

May god bless him..

With Regards,
Varun Bhardwaj

A 57-minute film that can be seen in full screen, entitled “Battle for Trees,” that was made in 1993 and is still relevant today in all parts of the world:

May the few existing forests be saved by responsible selective logging, without dedicated environmentalists needing to resort to “fighting and being hauled off” for the health of the Earth, our home!

The Buddha cultivated an ocean of blessings,
Many as the atoms in all lands;
Produced by the powers of his mind and will,
The enlightenment site is pure, without any taint.

Wish-fulfilling jewels are the roots of the trees,
Diamonds are their trunks;
Nets of jewels cover them
And a rich fragrance surrounds.

The tree branches are adorned by all kinds of gems,
The limbs are of precious stones, soaring high;
The branches and twigs hang thickly, like heavy clouds:
Underneath sits Buddha on the enlightenment site.

The site of enlightenment is unthinkably vast:
The trees surround it, covering all;
The dense foliage and luxurious flowers mutually cover and reflect,
While in the flowers grow gemstones’ fruits.

From among all the branches emanate beautiful lights
Illuminating the whole enlightenment scene;
Pure, bright, inexhaustible,
This appears by the powers of the Buddha’s vows.

Banks of precious stones are the flowers,
Reflections shining like patterned clouds;
The encircling trees perfume all around:
The enlightenment site’s adorned everywhere.

See in the site of the Buddha’s enlightenment
Lotuses and jewel nets, all pure;
Flames of light in whorls appear from here,
Music of bells and chimes come from the clouds.

All the wonderfully adorned trees
Existing in all the lands
Appear in the enlightenment tree;
Buddha, beneath it, sheds all defilement.

The site of enlightenment is made of vast blessings;
The tree branches rain jewels without end.
In the jewels appear enlightening beings,
Going everywhere to serve the Buddhas.

The realm of the Buddhas is inconceivable;
They cause all the trees there to produce music -
In accord with the enlightened way developed by the Buddha,
The hosts of beings, hearing the music, can see it all.
